Lewis Buchanan Crash

I’m a billion miles from being an authority on building big features, but this looked like one of those dive-into-a-bathtub-from-a-100ft-platform stunts.

Glad he’s OK, more or less.

As my Dad always said, “If you play rough games, you’re gonna get hurt.”

I watched that last night. He is one lucky boyo to get away with as little injuries as he did

Why on earth was the landing spot so goddamn narrow??? You can see he lands to the left of the sweet spot (as well as coming up a little short) by a couple of feet. Nuts.

You’re not wrong. Christ, I felt injured, just from the extreme heebie-jeebies associated with watching. It’s his mid-air “OH NO!” when he realises he’s **** it.

*shudder*

odd there isn’t external footage of it. Guinea-pigging the biggest feature you’ve ever hit is always going to be tricky. Makes the drops in dirt merchant look tame 😀

Anyone who’s ever ridden at the Golfie will have seen the quarry, pretty much +99% of us wouldn’t even consider that this was even a ‘jump’…

Never underestimate the daft stuff people will do for £££.

I think he’s a bit of a pillock, TBH, but in this case he’s just pushing the envelope and got hurt on his own terms – which is what he said. Fair play to him.

Sadly , he is just a bit of an internet troll these days.

He can certainly ride a bike, but after a very lacklustre race career with all sponsors dropping him , he just seemed to grab any deal going to keep the wolf from the door and not get a real job.

See his click bait videos and Onlyfans sponsors.

Always comes across as a bit of a bitter diva.

grabbing any deal is a bit harsh, the pickings for someone not frequently troubling the TV broadcast are slim; I won’t begrudge the unconventional attempt.

but his click bait video titles and general attitude towards the industry/products – bike frames in dumpsters as youtube thumbnails and so on – I agree with the bitter diva comment.

I wonder if he’d made it he would’ve got so many views, or people talking about it… Not saying he crashed on purpose! But it didn’t look like something that would look very spectacular to watch if he’d cleared it.

Scotland with rolling hills and difficult to find cliffs apparently. Might have hit his head a few times already.

That landing was so sketchy even if he landed in the sweet spot I don’t think he would have ridden it out.

The lads certainly got Big Baws but my mate at work pointed out, if we didn’t watch this stuff, he probably wouldn’t be doing it…

That’s at least two not riding the tour de gnar then, hopefully it gets cancelled.

Hence I’m not clicking it.

looks like he actually stuck the landing, I’d not be calling that a crash just hanging up. Done plenty of that in my life (on much much smaller stuff)

also there’s no way that’s 75′ from top to landing. I make it about 5 riders tall, or ~30′

From what I’ve heard, the only dropping he’s any good at is dropping into young girls’ DMs…

Looks like his ramp was simply pointing the wrong way.

Agree bit of a pillock even before this, not knowledgeable about bikes either.

He’s said himself that he missed the landing. It was just a foot or 2 to his right.

As said above, such a big drop with such a narrow landing was always open to trouble

I noticed Innes Graham had a little dig at him on his insta too for potentially causing problems with the Forestry up there.

Jezzz. hard crowd to please on here. I don’t know him, but fair play that was some gutsy move which very few in the world would try. He almost made it too. As for him trying to eak out a living on Youtube and his sponsor, give the guy a break.

I thought it was a comedy sketch till he actually went off. That run in was rubbish, way too slow. Glad he’s okay, but not my cuppa tea.
Edit- just watched the different angle, he basically made it, but the landing area was too loose and not enough transition.
Bonkers idea.
